=======Plot=======
Plot and subject are not the same.
The subject is what the story is about.
The plot is the events that happen.

Content is how the author arranges the events in the story; in other words, how he/she deals with the subject.

A reader should not judge the work of literature on the basis of the subject, but on the basis of style and ideas.

The story deals with the events that occur in temporal sequence (time order) in the story. Many stories have some departure from the strict temporal sequence, perhaps by using flashbacks.


What is plot?
The author creates a plot by arranging events in a story to achieve a certain effect.A pattern of cause-effect relationships may be created.

Plot imposes form on an experience, which is
formless (does not have a shape). Plot is important in expressing the meaning of a work.
